  1. Both look very nice additions the cavalex 56s are nearly enough to turn me back to oo Dave
  2. Always great to see updates on here
  3. I have still been modelling I’m just terrible at keeping threads up to date so here is my ‘progress’ in something resembling time order first of all both 56s are now numbered named and most importantly dcc sound fitted 56071 and 56093 The Institution of Mining Engineers next came something quite drastic back to bare baseboards adjusted all the legs to the same length , a full track relay and a proper dcc bus installed currently the outer circuit has been relayed and the inner track is half done and the point to the siding installed including a point motor David
  4. Was great to see the layout in the flesh at donny david
  5. Today I’ve reuploaded most of the pictures to the thread and removed some of the other missing ones I couldn’t replace they may not all be the same as the originals but it at least means anyone new to the thread I will get what’s going on I will also have an update proper very shortly all my parcels arrived and the 56s are moving forward david
  6. Didn’t see any new wires up when I went through Man vic this week plenty more support structures though but still a few missing, York to church Fenton looks like all the ‘return?’ Wires are in place maybe just about ready for hanging the rest of the knitting up david
  7. hi Jonny My last layout was in a spare bedroom, my current one is in a loft. Building in a separate garage certainly will bring its own set of challenges. Once the structural work is done new door etc personally I’d probably want to invest in an alarm and a half decent cctv camera as a just in case. obviously I have no idea what your neighbourhood is like I would probably bring rolling stock back to the flat when not operating and the controller(s) if it was practical should the worse happened these are your most expensive things to replace. david
  8. I will be watching this with interest, having previously attempted to model the depot myself although admittedly I didn’t really have the space david
  9. Wow 41 grids even with you not keeping them all that will still be a very impressive fleet makes my 2 probably going to be getting another so 3 triple grey examples seem meagre in comparison. Really nice use of the plinth might have to pinch that idea for myself david
  10. Nice update, it took me forever to get my skytrex pcas running right but that could just be down to my dodgy kit building david
  11. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer for you, what livery have you picked? david
  12. I am still alive just been quiet while I waited for my 2 class 56s to arrive very impressed with them no damage on delivery livery looks pretty crisp to me just waiting for the list of bits I need to get them both up and running more updates to follow when i parcels start arriving david
